The soft little female makes the beast husbands lose control and fall

Chapter 180. Sitting at the same table for breakfast.
Augustine was startled at first, his first thought being that it was Lucia, but when he turned his gaze, he saw the nine-tailed fox curled up on the floor under the bed, looking rather disheveled.

His eyes sharpened instantly. He strode forward, and almost instinctively, his energy coalesced into a sharp sword, pointing it directly at the strange man on the bed. He shouted sternly, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Her Highness the Holy Consort's bedchamber!"

Almost the instant Augustine finished speaking, Mingye opened his eyes as if triggered by some kind of danger signal.

He slowly turned around, his dark green eyes like deep, cold pools, staring at Augustine with a chilling yet intimidating gaze.

After seeing the face clearly, Augustine narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone full of anger: "Mingye, what are you doing here?"

Undeterred, Mingye met Augustine's gaze with a slight, defiant smile, saying, "I'm here to see my wife, is that so wrong?" His voice was deep and powerful, exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Augustine's face darkened, and he said sternly, "You sneaked into the palace without permission, showing no regard for the majesty of the empire."

He stood up straight, his eyes revealing the majesty and inviolability of an emperor.

Mingye chuckled dismissively and retorted, "Are you talking about the entire empire, or just yourself, Your Majesty?" He emphasized the word "Your Majesty" heavily, his words filled with disdain for Augustine.

Augustine frowned and said loudly, "I am the symbol of the empire. To offend me is to offend the entire empire!" The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense, as if a fierce conflict would break out at any moment.

Just then, Su Yaoyao was slowly awakened from her sleep by their voices.

She opened her eyes groggily, not fully conscious, and heard the voices of two men echoing in her ears.

She rubbed her eyes, and asked with a hint of languor and confusion, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Upon hearing Su Yaoyao's voice, Augustine immediately sheathed his sword, his serious expression vanishing instantly in exchange for a gentle smile.

Mingye immediately adjusted his expression and said softly to Su Yaoyao, "It's alright, Yaoyao, it's His Majesty."

Su Yaoyao abruptly stopped rubbing her eyes. Her sleepy eyes widened instantly, as if struck by lightning, and she became more awake in a flash.

She inwardly cursed, "This is terrible! Mingye secretly climbed over the wall to enter the palace! If His Majesty Augustine investigates this, it will be no small matter."

Su Yaoyao sat up almost reflexively. She looked nervously at Augustine standing by the bed, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

She forced a calm demeanor, forcing a flattering smile with a hint of coquetry, and said sweetly:
"Your Majesty, you are magnanimous. Mingye missed me too much and acted impulsively by sneaking into the palace. Please, could you not punish him?"

As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with expectation and pleading, just like a child begging for forgiveness after making a mistake.

Seeing Su Yaoyao's appearance, Augustine's anger vanished without a trace.

He sighed helplessly, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself, "Oh well, what can I do when Su Yaoyao is so protective of me?"

Then, Augustine picked up the food box in his hand, his face softening into a gentle smile, and said softly, "I know you love the pastries made by the royal kitchen, so I had them prepared them early, thinking you could eat them as soon as you woke up."

Su Yaoyao's eyes lit up instantly, sparkling with surprise like dazzling starlight. She clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Thank you, Ting, you're so kind!"

Afterwards, the group sat down together to have breakfast.

After Su Yaoyao ate a few bites, she picked up Lucia, took the syringe of nutrient solution, and gently fed him. As Lucia ate, he glanced at the two men sitting at a table on either side of him, seemingly having breakfast harmoniously, and inwardly grumbled.

If he hadn't woken up earlier than Yao Yao and witnessed their tense confrontation, he would have been fooled by the harmonious scene before him.

In fact, both Augustine and Mingye knew that the root of their conflict and discord was complex and long-standing.

Although a peace treaty has been signed, it will take time to put aside prejudices.

At the same time, they also knew that Su Yaoyao held a very important place in their hearts.

Therefore, even though their inner hostility towards each other was like an undercurrent, they tacitly believed that these conflicts could be resolved privately, and there was no need to compete with Su Yaoyao in front of her, putting her in a difficult position.

After all, none of them wanted to see Su Yaoyao show even the slightest worry or sadness because of their conflict.

Mingye thought of something he absolutely had to do when he came to the capital: he hadn't yet registered his marriage with Su Yaoyao, so he wasn't officially Su Yaoyao's beast husband.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he turned to Su Yaoyao, his eyes filled with seriousness and eagerness, and said, "Yaoyao, let's go get our marriage certificate after we finish eating. I want to become your legal beast husband openly and legitimately."

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao's fair cheeks instantly flushed red, making her look stunning.

She lowered her head slightly, a shy yet sweet smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "Okay."

Although the voice was soft, it filled Mingye's heart with joy when it reached his ears.

Augustine was quietly eating breakfast when he heard Mingye's words and his hands suddenly stopped moving.

A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. He even began to secretly envy Mingye.

When will I finally become Su Yaoyao's beast husband?

This feeling of longing for something that is out of reach filled him with melancholy.

Augustine gently put down his cutlery, slowly stood up, and tried to keep his face calm as he said, "Yao Yao, I still have some documents to process. I'll go take care of them now."

Su Yaoyao nodded, feeling a little sorry for Augustine. "You need to take care of yourself and not overwork yourself." Being His Majesty is really not easy; there are always endless documents to deal with.

Augustine smiled slightly and walked out.

As Mingye watched Augustine's departing figure, a smile played on his lips, and his eyes revealed a knowing look.

Lucia, nestled in Su Yaoyao's arms, also became listless.

His head drooped, his nine tails hung limply, and his thoughts were surprisingly similar to those of Augustine.

He was also secretly saddened, wondering when he would be able to have a closer relationship with Su Yaoyao like Mingye.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, looking utterly dejected.
